Here's a connection between Arlo and hearing aids. He was doing a concert in Patchogue several years ago and stopped mid-song to talk about his mentor Pete Seeger, who was just weeks short of his death. He said that Pete had complained that he was unhappy that he "don't sing as good as I used to." "Pete," Arlo answered, "look at our audience. They don't hear as good as they used to."
Certainly brings back memories, though not ones as close to Arlo and this song as yours are. Since I grew up in Western MA, I always felt like somehow I'd go to Alice's place someday, but truth is I never got there. Thanks for these memories.

Thanks for reading. Went to several Arlo concerts around New York in the early 2000s. And sang along (but not so loud it would annoy people).
Nice, John. Saw Arlo several times -- once, I think, at Carnegie Hall. He's still at it, and, holy cow, so are we. On and on, pal.
